 	"joined p2": The client was succesful in joining the game as Player 2 ("Scourge")
 	"left": The client was succesful in leaving the game
 	"played": The server recognized a game command was sent. This does NOT mean the command was succesful; the client should check the GameResult for that information

 	"generic error": An error has occured.
 
 The following Results are called "Broadcasts" and are sent by the server to ease the work done by the clients. None of them are required to be handled, but it will most likely be useful for clients to handle at least some of them.
